Vision & Virtuosity by Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany & Co. announces today it is embarking on the next chapter of its 鈥淰ision & Virtuosity鈥� exhibition, bringing over 400 objects from the House鈥檚 archives to London鈥檚 iconic Saatchi Gallery. A visual chronicle of the storied jeweller since its founding in New York City in 1837, 鈥淰ision & Virtuosity鈥� takes visitors on a journey through everything from archival high jewellery designs, Tiffany鈥檚 famed window displays and its recently acquired Empire Diamond of over 80 carats to important relics of popular culture such as the original script from Breakfast at Tiffany鈥檚. It is a celebration of Tiffany鈥檚 authority as the purveyor of the world鈥檚 finest diamonds and a showcase of how two core values鈥攙ision and virtuosity鈥攈ave guided the House for 185 years.
Each of the exhibition鈥檚 seven chapters will explore separate themes that are central to Tiffany鈥檚 brand identity, heritage, and creative influence. Upon entering Saatchi Gallery, guests will explore founder Charles Lewis Tiffany鈥檚 legacy and, in the subsequent sections, experience the works of some of the House鈥檚 most creative forces such as Jean Schlumberger and Elsa Peretti. The third chapter is devoted to the annual Blue Book high jewellery collection, while the fourth room is centred on Tiffany鈥檚 heritage in the world of love and commitment, having introduced the iconic Tiffany庐 Setting engagement ring in 1886. The fifth space is devoted to Breakfast at Tiffany鈥檚, while the penultimate chapter is a spectacle of diamonds, dedicated to Tiffany鈥檚 renowned diamond creations. At the culmination of the exhibition, guests will have an opportunity to view the legendary 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond.
An accompanying exhibition catalogue, available in two sizes, presents the exhibition鈥檚 highlights, showcasing creations by everyone from Louis Comfort Tiffany and Gene Moore to Jean Schlumberger, Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, John Loring, and the House鈥檚 most influential visionaries. With a foreword by the late Andre Leon Talley and text by Vivienne Becker, the 160-page text is published by Assouline New York and will be available in the exhibition鈥檚 gift shop, as well as at Tiffany鈥檚 Old Bond Street store, beginning on June 10, 2022.
